dmccombe7 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Guitarist has a Godin Acousticaster that battery cable came loose and touched the circuit board burning out a transistor. He took the board out of the guitar himself and i managed to get it repaired at a local electronic repair shop. I didn't see the cabling and where it originally went. When we reconnected the board in the guitar it didn't work at all. Does anyone have a wiring diagram for this guitar and if possible one for the circuit board. Even an explanation of how it actually works. There's a red and black cable from the circuit board that i'm guessing goes to the jack socket and there's a single white cable that goes somewhere under the saddles ? Any help appreciated.

dmccombe7 Posted June 30, 2017 Author Share Posted June 30, 2017 Just in case anyone reads this i did manage to get a wiring diagram from Godin thru Merchant City Music in Glasgow. Godin did not even respond to my own request for same thing which is disappointing to say the least. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merchant City have been really helpful. Good to know there are still shops out there that are happy to help even if no money in it for them. Unless of course i don't manage to get it sorted at next rehearsal Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Managed to get a wiring diagram thru a Glasgow shop that were extremely helpful in contacting Godin direct and forwarding the diagram to me. Godin themselves never actually replied to any messages i sent them. All sorted now tho and i've since passe on the diagram to a few others on Basschat.
